Don't forget _Paronychodon_ and _Euronychodon_, two rather unremarkable 
genera named from their allegedly claw-like teeth.  _Stenonychosaurus_ 
("narrow-clawed lizard") is currently regarded as a synonym of _Troodon_, 
but will probably make a comeback as a valid genus at some point in the 
future.
